Sanchez will pass on hot dog this time

Two years ago, nobody was talking about how the Jets had two backs (Shonn Greene, Thomas Jones) run for more than 120 yards in the 38-0 rout in Oakland. Everybody was hot over hot dogs, or the one New York quarterback Mark Sanchez was seen eating on the bench toward the end of the game.

He must really like Coliseum hot dogs.

“Yeahhhhhh …,” Jets coach Rex Ryan said during a conference call Wednesday. “I think that was more to do with he had some stomach issues or something. We don’t think that will be an issue this time.”

The Sanchise feasts

Sanchez even had the mustard going. He apologized after the game, but at least he wasn’t trying to show the Raiders up by eating a hot dog on the field sitting in the pocket.

“I want to apologize for that,” Sanchez said. “I wasn’t feeling very
good and didn’t eat much before the game, so I was feeling a little
queasy. Toward the end of the game, I probably should have eaten one of those bars or something, but someone offered (a hot dog), so I grabbed
it and tried to be discreet about it, but obviously not discreet
enough. So I shouldn’t have done that, and it won’t happen again.”

No, probably not. But the incident does give heckling Raiders fans some great material for Sunday’s game.
